Stevens Creek Striders
Welcome to the Stevens Creek Striders!
Founded in 1981, the Stevens Creek Striders are an all-ages social trail running group in Cupertino, CA. Every Saturday morning at 8:30, you will find us at the Stevens Creek Reservoir parking lot, eager to spend the morning sharing the trails and each other’s company, often followed by brunch nearby.
Beyond our Saturday gatherings, we organize runs in other parks throughout the year, manage aid stations at several prominent races, and host our own race in September.
Runners (and hikers) of all backgrounds and abilities are welcome, whether you are new to trails or eyeing your next 100-miler. Please do not worry if you think you’re slow – we will naturally spread out during the run but also regroup regularly. No one is left behind, and no one will mind having more time to chat; we are here because we want to spend this time together.

We had another great run today and a good view from Maisie's peak! The trails are in great shape. Volunteers that we saw a few weeks ago did good work on Tony Look, building new steps in one of the trickier sections.
Also, in two weeks will be our Predictive Run and potluck picnic starting from Villa Maria – will it run up to Maisie's Peak? Who knows! That route will be a surprise.
It’s never too early to want to volunteer at Bull Run for the Quicksilver Endurance Runs. Sign up now!

When this happens, it’s usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it’s been deleted.
We had a cool sun-poking-through run this morning (plus early afternoon, for some). Bit of mud on the trails helped us not to lose track of our shoes. Beautiful day.
We had a lovely run last Saturday. Bit foggy at the start – cleared up as we were going, and the hills were green. We did a nice Seven Springs loop, stopping by Hunter's Point.
